All Chapters of The Billionaire's Island Bargain: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Emily POVI woke up to find the room empty. It was morning, and today was the day Cade had mentioned there would be a party.I kept thinking about what he had said last night. He wouldn’t tell me anything, and that silence was driving me crazy.Where could he even be? I wondered as I headed into the bathroom to take a shower.I was combing my hair when he walked into the room. He didn’t bother acknowledging my presence. He went straight to the wardrobe, pulled out his clothes, and disappeared into the bathroom.It felt strangely tense in here, I thought, waiting for him to finish.He came out wearing only a towel, and I found myself drawn to him. He moved around the room searching for something, then looked up and caught me staring.“Why are you still here? And why are you looking at me? You always looked away whenever I walked around like this. So what’s changed?” he asked.“I don’t know. I just find myself looking at you — not for any other reason, but because of the scar on your ab

Emily POVFully dressed for the party, I stood in front of the mirror, staring at myself. I looked like a goddess — elegant and radiant — but that wasn’t my problem. I was still feeling strange about the party. I had no idea what was in store, and that uncertainty made me deeply uneasy.Just then, the door opened and Cade walked in, looking sharp in a white tuxedo.“Are you ready for the party?” he asked.“Yes,” I replied. He stretched out his hand. I took it, and together we headed downstairs.The party was in full swing when we arrived. We were the center of attention, and Cade introduced me to a lot of guests — people from the company, locals from town, and some of his friends.While Cade’s mother and father mingled among the crowd, Cade and I moved to the dance floor.“You can stop this dance by saying you have a headache. It’s not a must that you dance with me,” he said.“Stop talking and just dance,” I replied softly, pulling him closer.If this would be my last time here, I mig

Emily POVI stood waiting for David to give me a reply. How did he know I was Rachael when we had never told anyone about it?“I just happened to overhear it,” he said.“Where did you hear it from?” I asked.“Do I have to explain myself to you?” he snapped.“Yes, you do. You have to explain yourself to me!” I said.“Well then, I overheard Denise’s conversation with Cade. Does that answer your question?” he asked.“But that’s not the point here. That guy caused you a lot of harm, Emily. You shouldn’t be close to him. He doesn’t deserve it!” he said.“What happened between Cade and me is none of your business. We will both solve our issues when he is awake. So please leave,” I said.“I have always been leaving, Emily, but this time I won’t. I won’t give up on you, and I won’t let you go,” he said, walking toward me again.“Just leave, David. Get out of here!” I yelled at him for the last time. He nodded and began to head to the door, but stopped to stare at me.“This isn’t the last you

Cade POV“Are you deaf? I said you should go away from my husband!” Emily yelled at Isabel, who only gave her a smug smile.Wanting to piss Emily off even more, Isabel tried to wrap her arms around me again, but I pushed them away.“Stop being a nuisance and just leave, Emily. Cade and I are having the moment of our lives. Do I have to spell it out for you?” Isabel said.“For the last time, Isabel, get away from my husband!” Emily warned. When Isabel didn’t move, Emily went into the bathroom and came back with a towel.She threw it at Isabel and pulled her up by the arm.“Let me go, you witch! Let me go!” Isabel yelled, but Emily dragged her by the hair and threw her out of the room.“You bitch!” Isabel spat.“You are the bitch! Once I see you close to my husband again, I will make sure you pay. Just so you know, I grew up in a neighborhood where I was taught to defend myself. You try to come into this room again, and I won’t hesitate to hit your face. You wouldn’t want your pretty fa

EMILY POVHand in hand, Cade and I walked out of the house toward the car.“That was like a slap in the face to your mom,” I said.“She deserves it. She was thrilled when I told her I’d be sending you away, but seeing you this morning really shocked her,” he replied, pulling me closer with his arm around my waist.“Don’t you think your mother will try something else? She’s very cunning,” I said worriedly.“I know she will. She’ll try anything to separate us. But I’m sure we can withstand it. I hope she’s learned her lesson after what she did years ago… and recently,” he said.I stopped and stared at him. “I can understand the past… but recently? Are you saying she caused what happened to you?”He shook his head gently. “Not to me. To you.”“What?”“She wants you out of the way, Emily. She knows you’re the only person who truly matters to me. She wants to separate us… and the only way she thinks she can do that is by killing you.”A cold chill ran down my spine. “Oh, Cade… this is gett
